Molly the Westie would vote for that!

….packing up time.

Thanks to show secy Alan and all his helpers from the local group, Diane who was the AGS organiser on the day. I'm told by the very efficient admin team that there were 44 exhibitors in the open section with 376 plants in 265 entries; 15 exhibitors in section B with 88 plants in 81 entries; in section c 4 exhibitors showing 18 plants in 15 entries.

I look forward to reading others' thoughts on what was a very good show. As John Richards said at the presentation if this turns out to the last this spring due to the virus epidemic then the shortened season finished with a bang.

What an excellent coverage of the show from Stan, it gave an good feel for how the show was. I will be posting my usual run of close up pictures and exhibitor i/d when I got it, there will be some repetition of what Stan has posted but good plants always good to see again. The pictures are in no particular order, just took the shots when I was not in spectators way, in the main they are of the first placed plants in a class.
